Whether or not Dante is stronger than Sparda can be hard to determined. Phantom said Dante was stronger, but Dante needed Sparda to defeat Mundus. Phantom could have been referring to his potential.

Not everyone has the same ability sets. Vergil and Dante in DMC3 were about the same level, yet Vergil was capable of hardcore teleportation and energy constructs. Dante uses his power to augment and enhance.

Super Dante is a gameplay mechanic.
